Where is that audio coming from? Not recorded by Tesla, but that's video from Tesla.

There are reports of charging irregularities accompanied by no schedule seen in the app. I had this and scheduled charging was not happening. The solution for me and others has been to delete all schedules from the car, reboot, and re-enter the schedules. At that point things are synced between...

There's wording and poorly thought out messages in a number of places. For example, at 9:54 am, I chose Start Charge to bring the SOC up to 50% (because the car will not be used for a while). Instead of something like "Time remaining: 56 minutes," I get "Charging will stop at 9:00 am." When...

The scheduled departure (setting end time only) worked perfectly last night. Here are my conclusions (*cough* guesses *cough*) based on this recent experience and earlier experiences: There is something funky in V 2024.26.7 that messes up charging for multiple people. Recommended fix(may be...

Is there fluid on the garage floor? Only leaks while driving?

Maybe that's what happened here.

I agree, but in the four years with the car, it's usually been spot on, and I don't recall a misestimate of more than 1%. Tonight I'm going back to setting only an end time because I've got a trip coming up, and I don't want it to sit at 100% for hours.

Today I saw it on my non-LFP car when charging to 83% instead of the usual 80%.

For me, FSD is very little different from being a passenger. An attentive, back seat driver kind of passenger. Most of my driving is highway--two lanes and four lanes.

It charged! A new, less serious mystery: A notification says "Charging completed at 4:02 am with battery at 80%." But when I woke up and checked at 6 am, the charge was 77%. So, either it misestimated the charge at 4 am, or something drained a few percent in two hours. Probably the first, but...

I plugged it a little before 3 pm today, and it charged until 3 pm (to 47%). So, it's in the same situation as it was yesterday. If my futzing worked, it should charge tonight. Part of me wonders whether it failed because I plugged it in before 3 pm yesterday. That is, it charged during the...

1, 4, and 5. People choose 5, but does that mean "Shut up! Don't talk to me while I'm driving, and turn off that damned music, I'm focusing on supervising!"

Never having to jiggle the steering wheel? Priceless. We've got 12.3.6 on one car, 12.5.1.5 on the other. No differences noticed, but 12.3.6 went way into the oncoming lane recently.

New info: In the Tesla app on my Android phone, the schedule I had set in the car did not appear. That is, there was no schedule listed. I followed the advice here, namely: Deleted the charging schedule Rebooted twice (not convinced that twice was necessary) Put in the schedule again (in the...

It did indeed start charging at 8:15 am.

I'm now going to experiment with the start stop schedules and see what happens. Any other ideas for things to try? The worst is that now I may never have confidence that it's going to charge when it's supposed to.

Good idea, but it was properly set, and the same as in my profile. I doubt it's related, but when I tell it to go Home (while sitting in the garage) I see this: IOW, it's a little off as to where it thinks home is. There's an additional complication in that the house is closer to the road at...

It did not charge! I looked at 7:15 am and it was not charging. The charge level was still 29%. Interesting clue: I noticed that the driver was set to my wife, although I had driven the car yesterday. I didn't think that was significant, but when I switched it to me, it immediately started...

Got a nice benefit from my new schedule. I set start time to midnight and end time to 3 pm, which is the exact off-peak period. I came home at 2 pm from a trip with the SOC at 24%. It started charging and stopped at 3 pm with the SOC at 29%. Thats just what I'd want it to do, though I'm...

I've had a few instances of the car going over the yellow line into the opposing lane. The other day the car (v2024.26.7) drove way over the line. I'm guessing that if there had been a car coming the other way, that wouldn't have happened. What do you think?

Considering Acceleration Boost? I used to ski up there for the day from Long Island on busses. 1968 or so.

I once got a flat close to home that would have ruined my day had I not had a spare. Important meeting? Job interview? Roadside service can take an hour or more. Towing is expensive.

Oops, that's the mystery sound from the Starliner. Oh gosh, sorry. How did that happen?!

Sorry, I couldn't resist posting this mystery sound. What do you think it is?

I think most do without. We have spares in both our Teslas.

Good thinking. If I switch between Home and Current location, it's the same, meaning it knows it's at Home. Today, anyway. Could GPS have been inaccurate last night?? In terms of excluding Home for walkaway lock, any thing closer than 1,000 feet is close enough. If it uses the same criterion...

Right. This is actually for Nick (see sig), an NMC car. Tessie gets charged to 70% usually, and I'm keeping her on scheduled departure for now. Thanks.

Well, another total failure last night. It was at 73% when I plugged it in yesterday afternoon, and as you can see, it's still at 73% today at 9:58 am. It was supposed to charge to 80% and be done at 9 am. I set up the schedule a few days ago in the car and I did a reboot yesterday. I have...

If you get that question, here's how you should answer: "What's a supercharger?"

"When the next scheduled charge is more than 12 hours away and not the current day." I'm trying to figure out the logic here. First of all, it should read "not within the current day" or "not during the current day." Next, they probably mean "in the future" rather than "away." Otherwise a...

In a limited sense, you could call that "Robotaxi in a parking lot."

I get your point. I think: If there's an emergency situation (as in about to hit a car), I'm guessing it will brake, just as it would if you didn't have FSD on (AEB). For non-emergency braking, such as slowing down for a curve, you can't have a situation in which you and the car are fighting...

I draw the line at underwear.

That's a reasonable question. Here's why they're not the same: There's a tradeoff between BMS accuracy and battery longevity. If someone never charges to 100% and the BMS accuracy is off, the lawsuit that results reads, "Hey, the car said it had 70 miles left, but it ran out of juice, and my...

Be sure to control for traffic density. Speed decay is worse without other cars around.

If you mean this, that's just a representation of what the car thinks it sees.

No indication that the voltage is high. 237 v right now. Today, first time charging after bumping it back to 24 A, charging stopped prematurely. That is, it was supposed to charge to 80% by 9 am, but when I checked at 8 am, it had stopped at 63%. It then started again, but not soon enough to be...

The will-not-reach-limit error is apparently a known bug, and should be ignored. In the past I've had problems that seemed related to changing the charge limit. I had a failure today. It was supposed to charge to 80% by 9 am. I got that error message, and charging started at 3:36 am at 28%...

Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to write that up. Concerning 14, another time to carry the mobile connector is when you visit someone on a trip and stay at their house. That let's you charge in their garage.

I almost always charge our LFP car to 70%. Do you think that there's negligable benefit to using Scheduled Departure charging rather that Scheduled Charging?

This is great advice if Tesla's best interests and your best interests are aligned. Not always true. Do you follow the guidance on your shampoo bottle (Lather, rinse, repeat)? With modern shampoo, the first use is normally sufficient to clean hair. However, if the hair was very dirty then the...

I bet it would be more popular if they made it look like this:

3. That wording is logically incoherent. More info: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/the-puzzling-reason-why-tesla-misleadingly-recommends-charging-the-lfp-batteries-to-100-187075.html And

I was surprised to see that our cars were set to 1 amp and 2 amps below the maximum, respectively. It's a 30-amp circuit and 24 amps should be fine. Not sure how long it's been like that. I never changed it. Why do you think that is?

Today is a good example. Car is at 99%. Wife says, "We're leaving in 30 minutes." Car says, "34 minutes to charge limit." I say, "Happy wife, happy life."

This is how I would have designed the scheduled charging interface. I only spent a few minutes on it—is there anything I missed?

I spent five minutes thinking about how I would design the scheduled charging, and this is what I'd have on the screen. The only people for whom this wouldn't work would be those who want two separate charging periods in a single day.

Ah, thanks. That explains it.

I haven't seen this one-time button. Where and when does it appear? I set the limit to 100% this morning, and I'm quite sure I didn't see it. The car (Tessie) is on V 2024.26.20.
